This thesis aims to test and evaluate the use of image-based 3D modelling techniques on rune stones. To test the method a well-documented rune stone was chosen, Hyby stone 1. The stone has been dated to the Viking Age and contains 37 runes, whereof 29 are still visible, two crosses and a stag. These carvings have been detected by other scholars with the use of non-digital methods. In order to eval

This research addresses the potential of political comedy and satire as television genres in the construction of democracy and civic culture in Colombia. Through a set of elite interviews with representative individuals in the media, political humor and media scholarship circles of the country; and through genre-based and political, economical and cultural analyses, this research underscores the r

People are moving from rural to urban areas at an unprecedented rate, resulting in a high concentration of people subsisting on outside resources being constantly brought in. This presents a variety of complex sustainability problems. It is a resource-intensive system susceptible to supply shocks which could threaten food security. Many foods grow in cities, such as fruits on city trees, so utilis

In order to better understand impact of extreme weather events on condition of crop vegetation in Ukraine, analysis of agricultural droughts which occurred in the southern region of Ukraine, between years 2000-2012 was conducted in the current research. Method of the research In the current research, the impact of droughts was analyzed on yearly basis by assessing vegetation conditions and compar

Within the three key themes of Innovation & Design, Industry Relations, and Market Strategy, we have identified important factors for the survival of Apple as a niche player in a network economy. Concerning the theme of Innovation & Design the factors recognized are Radical Innovation, Resolving Schematic Incongruity, and Technological Evolution. Regarding Industry Relations we have found

Denna avhandling föreställer sig en ny typ av typologi i staden, en som är sådd och odlad av och för de äldre och de unga. Ett mötesrum som främjar generationsöverskridande relationer och samarbete, samtidigt som det minskar ensamhet och främjar stimulerande miljöer för social utveckling. Genom att omvandla en oanvänd parkering i centrala Stockholm till ett gemensamt utrymme som är delvis trädgård

The main finding of this thesis is that the relevance and influence of Aaron Wildavsky’s book Searching for Safety in today’s safety discourse is limited although Wildavsky may be considered to be the linking pin between RE, HRO and NAT. The safety discourse may benefit from Wildavsky’s work in political science: I.e., dealing with social power within organizations, the use of net benefit in risk

The recognition of both inner (beliefs, mindsets, values) and outer dimensions (structures, technologies, behaviours) in addressing the climate crisis offers a powerful leverage point for the transformation needed. However, there is a lack of understanding of how this approach can be adapted to different groups and contexts. This thesis focuses on environmental activists from Russia as valuable ch

How do governments allocate scarce resources in the face of political survival? Do they allocate according to social equity or welfare criteria, or do political concerns play a role? Over the course of three decades, the literature on distributive politics documented numerous cases where governments distributed goods and services strategically for electoral gains. By building on the theories of di

The rapid expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources has introduced substantial challenges to both the stability of the electrical grid and the economic viability of incumbent wind farms. In light of recent regulatory amendments within the energy market, stakeholders are compelled to adjust their operational strategies. Concurrently, the expansion of wind power has exacerbated price cannib

While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p

Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. Moreover, the longevity of the gas and building infrastructure make the sector prone

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) form symbiotic relationships with trees by connecting to the roots, procuring soil nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates, and are an important contributor to plant growth. The forestry practice of clearcutting can be detrimental to the ECM community by removing its source of energy and creating unfavorable soil conditions, acutely reducing ECM diversity. This paper ai

This thesis investigates the intertwining of corporate social responsibility (CSR) discourse and the European Union's strategy for sustainable and circular textiles through a single case study and critical frame analysis (CFA). By doing this, concurring discourse between corporations and the institutions aimed at governing them can be problematised. Derived from conventional and contemporary C

This thesis research analyzed policies that promote resource mobilization for the development of the Solar Water Heaters and Photovoltaic industries in Mexico. The main inquiry is to identify the role that technological complexity plays in promoting resource mobilization for sustainable transition policies. It is assumed that if the technology is complex, resources are obtained from extra-regional

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to understand how customers construct the relationship, prior identified in the literature, between packaging, haptic sensory and perception with regard to FMCG products. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the role of haptic packaging characteristics on FMCG products for customers. Methodology: The philosophies of epistemology and ontology were considered b
